nOOb nVidia owner question

Talon · Apr 23, 2003, 07:30 PM

Ok, so finally broke down and bought me a new vid card today, and it's the GeForce FX 5200 Ultra! So far I am very impressed with the performance, and I am only using the stock drivers

Anyway, as a new GeForce owner, I'm not too familiar with the detonator drivers, so I was curious. Are the detonators for ALL GeForce cards? If so, will Omega's drivers work ok with my new card? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Installed, tested, and.....MAN what a difference! Tiger Woods PGA 2003 looks like a new freakin game!! Thanks Omega!

What are you comparing with?

Older drivers, or untweaked 43.45 ?

The main thrust of recent Detonator driver development is naturally going to be toward the FX.
As I understand it, the Omega tweaked drivers are biased towards quality rather than performance.

All you need now, is the DAWN demo and the patch for it

I played TWPGA with the stock drivers that came with the card on CD, and to be honest even then the game really looked great. After installing the omega drivers though, and turning on 2XAA, the game looks even better. The fog and shadow effects are incredible, but the most noticable difference has to be with the water hazards. Even with this new card on stock drivers, the water, although great looking, was flat and reflective, which looked cool, but after with the new drivers and AA, the water now ripples with the wind, and looks amazing!
